Chapter Two
A bad plan, for the right reasons
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Tai, Yamato (Matt), Kari, TK or Davis they belong to someone else
AUTHOR NOTE: Here we go the second chapter, this is going to be a fairly long plot lline so you have to bare with me, before Tai can work on Matt he needs to sort his own head out then he can sort Yamato's out, ok still with me ok, hence the plan he comes up with, things change in a couple of chapters or so, so bare with me. Another thing you might notice is that Tai refers to Matt as Matt while Kari calls him Yamato, to put it simply, Tai is his best friends and so is privilege to call him his nickname, Kari doesn't really know him and so calls him his proper name, for the record TK calls him Yama. Clear ok then, enjoy the next chapter, number 3 will be better.
"Tai, hey Tai wake up will ya?" Tai frowned to himself, could this day of gotten worse for people interrupting his daydreams. He blinked from watching the TV and frowned at the program.
"What the hell is this?" he muttered looking round for the channel changer while he spoke
"Here it is" he looked up to see his younger sister Kari looking at him a small smile on her face. An answering smile graced his features even though he wasn't in the mood to smile.
"Pass it here please" he said holding out his hand for it, she dropped it onto it and sat down next to him
"So what's up with you TaiChi" she asked casually
"Nothing" he replied as he glanced at her, she was definitely a pretty girl, her beauty wasn't vibrant though but more a delicate way. She had short light brown hair that was longer in the front then at the back, she kept these pieces tamed by wearing sparkly pink slides in them, her features were soft and delicates, kissable lips, a small nose and big kind brown eyes looked out on the world with the same sparkle of life that Tai's held.
"Liar" she said with a slight smile "Come on Tai we always tell each other everything so come on spill your guts out to me, I'm listening" Tai sighed as he glanced at her
"I like someone I shouldn't" he began carefully choosing his words "Or at least I think I do I'm just confused about what I'm suppose to do about it Kari" there was a moment silence between the two then Kari spoke calmly.
"You mean you like Yamato more than you should and you're feelings are scaring you because you don't want to be thought of as gay" Tai's mouth fell open and he stared at her with a startled look on his face
"What???" he gasped, she nodded a sympathic look on her face
"You heard me, I do know about these things you know Tai" she replied "I've known for a while and so has TK though we don't have any idea how Matt feels we know how you feel cause it's obvious"
"Obvious?" he repeated swallowing deeply
"Yep I don't think Yamato has any idea you know him he tries not to pick up stuff like that, but I've seen the way you stare at him with a dreamy look on your face, you listen to everything he says and no doubt you've noticed little things about him like when he's washed his hair or something" Tai blushed scarlet and turned his attention to the TV. "It's not a bad thing or anything Tai"
"Kari just how long have you and TK been talking about my love life with each other, can't you talk about something else?" he demanded "Has TK said anything about this to Matt?" he said sharply his face paling slightly
"Don't be silly" she scolded "We aren't stupid you know, though you didn't deny it did you Tai" she said gleefully "It so cute you and Yamato" she said clasping her hands and beaming at him "You make such a sweet couple" Tai shrugged at her
"I don't know how I feel for Matt and I don't know about us making a cute couple but maybe you're right I mean I'm friends with Sora and Izzy and that but…but…" he voice died down as a frown came across his expressive face. Could she be right?, was he gay because of how he felt about Matt?. Kari watched him fondly guessing his thoughts including his doubts about him and Matt being a couple, she looked at him in an analyzing fashion, he and Matt would look perfect together, Tai would contrast Matt. His face was vibrant and alive and his grin had the affect of sunshine coming out from behind a cloud, his hair was wild but it suited his personality, the colour being a rich dark chocolate that many of the girls envied at school, his skin was tanned from being constantly in the sun due to his football practice, his eyes sparkled in his good looking face, chocolate brown in colour and with the glint of life and joy, he wasn't as good looking as Matt but he ran a close second, many girls preferred him to Matt anyway.
"Don't tell me" she replied "No-one you've met before has made you feel this way before, every time he comes close to you or smiles his special smile at you your heart pounds in your chest and your palms turn sweaty. When he talks to you or laughs at one of your jokes your breathe just catches at how he looks and you can't help but go red and grin at him while the butterflies go crazy in your stomach?"
"Kari" Tai said turning to her a smile on his face "Who makes you feel like that?" he questioned, she blushed
"What do you mean?" she replied nervously
"No one who didn't experience those emotions could describe it properly" she looked down then spoke
"Don't worry about Yamato" she said softly "It seems that our family has a strong attraction to his"
"TK" he said eyes widening "You liked TK I've always wondered but I thought you were just friends" he stopped "What about Davis?" she shook her head violently
"We're only friends, it's all we'll be" came her reply "In the end things will work out between you and Yamato I'm sure of it" she stood up "Well I'm off to bed now, I'm shattered" he nodded
"Goodnight Kari" he said kissing her cheek, she nodded and with a smile left him. Tai sat there for a while longer thinking about everything she had said to him. He headed off to his room and went through his routine without really being aware he was doing it. When his light went off however no sleep came to him instead all his thoughts of Matt came to head
"Right" he said out loud to himself "I have to face the facts I like Yamato, I really do but my feelings aren't restricted to that of a friend but something more. I'm not meant to feel this way about a boy though so what does that make me? Am I normal or not?" nothing but silence met his heartfelt question "The fact is I'm positive that if I told him he wouldn't feel the same way, why would he? He's a guy after all and so he'll be into girls like Sora or MiMi, if he found out how I felt then he'd get embarrassed or worse not talk to me again. What would his friends say if they knew?" he shook his head in the darkness, but what could he do, he put his mind to the problem and a minute later sat up, The problem was that he was to close to Matt as a friend he needed to separate himself and distance then he could work on his feelings alone. It couldn't be that hard to ignore someone even though he couldn't leave that person a lone. He laid back down, it would be better in the long term his plan, he loved Matt and he was going to protect him form everything even himself
Right there you go I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you understand what Tai is doing, don't worry though things will turn out alright in the end promise, please review but no flames, thanks
